"Mr President, in the recommendation which is the subject of this debate Parliament approves the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union. It then goes on to instruct its President and the Presidents of the Council and the Commission to proclaim the Charter of Nice. But this Charter is clearly aimed at furthering the ever-closer union of the peoples of Europe. According to the co-rapporteur, Mr Duff, this is a major step towards improving the quality of European integration. As a representative of my people in England, and not the European peoples, I can only say that I have no mandate to further European integration – and if it truly represents its people neither does the UK government. In fact the bulk of the people in the United Kingdom are wholly opposed to further integration. Therefore, as a democrat, so am I. I dissociate myself from this initiative and will vote against."@en1
